Answer:

A) that states had the constitutional right to secede from the United States

Explanation:

James Buchanan was the 15th president of USA. It was during his presidency that seven southern states seceded from the Union and brought the nation on the brink of civil war.  

He was from Pennsylvania and began his career in Pennsylvania state's legislature. He  later served in both the houses of the U.S congress.

Buchanan was a democrat and he morally opposed slavery while believing that it was supported by the US constitution.. He got elected to the White House in 1856.

He tried to maintain peace between the anti and pro slavery factions in the government.<u><em>  In 1856 general election Buchanan supported the idea that slavery was an issue to be decide by the individual territories and states while his challenger John Fremont asserted that the federal  government should bad slavery in all the territories.</em></u>

He did not seek reelection after his first term as president but he proposed that sates did not have the right to secede and he had no constitutional power to stop them. The slavery crisis was left for the Lincoln administration to resolve.

What is the difference between criminal law and military law?
torisob [31]
A civilian has rights. He must be told these rights, be given a lawyer, cannot be taken into custody without probable cause, when he is arrainged he can probably post bail, and supposedly he is innocent until proven guilty.

A soldier is guilty until proven innocent. If a major or above testifies that he saw the soldier do something wrong, that soldier is considered guilty right then and there. If he says the officer is lying, he gets hit with the charge of disrespecting an officer. When arrested, he has no right to silence, or to an attorney not provided by the military.
